RECEIVING THE SIDE BALL Boys' Soccer Succeeds Full back checks In their second season, the Pi- rates Soccer team made drastic im- provements. The teams improved 100470 from last year in performance and skill, said Coach Guillermo Barce- nas. The teams played strong since the beginning. In the first soccer season, the teams gradually improved from game to game. This year the teams maintained the same level of threat during the whole season. Four players made All League this year, as compared to last year's two. The list included Andrew Ala- torre, Ionathon Iones, Mario Rodri- guez, and Gabriel Soliz.

TEAMS SHOW IMPROVEMENT OVER LAST YEAR'S SEASON Receiving other awards were: Armando Ramirez, most improved, and Andrew Alatorre, best player, and most enthusiastic. The Varsity team placed fourth in the league out of five. The Iunior Varsity did not place. The difference in goals was much less, explained Coach Barce- nas. The opposing teams won by very little, showing the greater skill in this year's season. One of the problems faced by Varsity this year was inconsistancy in performance. For the I.V.'s, height was the problem. - Kampol Crews PIRATE IN CONTROL Forward Gabriel Soliz forces the ball up field before taking a shot at the goal. Boys' Soccer . . .
